Catch-up Post

So, it's been awhile since I last posted a blog. A lot has happened since then. Here's a brief overview:

I spent two weeks cramming for the GMAT and got a 590!! The average GMAT score at the University of Utah is 600. This means I have a good chance of being accepted!! Hurray! I'll also apply to BYU, but I don't think their schedule is going to work for me. They only accept MAcc students in the fall and during the first winter semester, a lot of classes are required, which would practically require me to quit my job. Non the less, I still need take three more prerequisites before I can even apply to the UofU and two more before I can apply for BYU, so I'll see what happens between now and when I'm ready to apply.

Since getting a good score on the GMAT, the partners at the accounting firm where I work have treated me differently. It's amazing how one simple good score can prove to people that you are smart or at least smarter than they thought you were.

They day after I took the GMAT, I started two MBA classes. They have definitely been challenging for me and I have had to sacrifice my social life, but I'll be glad to only have one more MBA class after these two!

I had a family Christmas party last weekend. Below is a family Christmas picture we took to give my Mom. Jonathan from my ward was kind enough to go with me. I was a little worried that I'd get some kind of lecture from my Aunts and Uncles about not dating or not getting married. Thanks Jonathan!
